Why would you do that? This is a business platform, not Facebook!

Your buyer’s personal life is none of your business. It is also not at all related to your gigs.

Will this affect my profile?

How It can be harmful???

For example you could get negative feedback, you could get warned for harassment, you could get warned for requesting personal information, etc. See?

Only if you want them to see you as unprofessional (the best case scenario) or as a crazy stalker or possibly a criminal.

What makes you think that someone who hires you to do a job wants some idle chit-chat just because you’re bored? If you wish to talk to someone, don’t you have friends and family?

They could think that you’re unprofessional or a maniac, give you such a terrible feedback that nobody who reads it wants to work with you, report you for highly inappropriate behavior (and you could get permanently banned for that)…

What gave you the idea to ask your buyer private questions?

If it’s in any way related to the service you provide, you can (and should) ask that. If you’re just trying to make small talk, you’re risking to make someone uncomfortable. Don’t do that.

i would say only if such information was important to the gig. otherwise, there really isn’t any point. in a store, a clerk may engage in small talk while your being checked out, but here it could honestly come across as a little creepy, and if you’re not careful you could come across like you’re trying to commit identity theft

If I came across a seller who asked me about my personal life and it had nothing to do with the order, I would tell them to mind their own business, flag their message, and find another seller.

Perfect answer. I think that one may say that, “I am copywriter” or “I am a full time freelancer”

or" I am a graphic designer" etc.

I completed the order and he was also free so I thought about some chit-chat. Therefore I asked community about this
